Episode 6 of my weekly web show for magicians, Time to be Awesome is online and ready for your viewing pleasure at www.timetobeawesome.com

This week I sit down with Philadelphia magician Francis Menotti. You may know Francis from his killer lecture on creativity in magic or from his countless contributions to magic magazines and books (his effect on Joshua Jays Talk about Tricks DVD is worth the price of all 3 DVDs combined.)

Not only does Francis give us great insight into his thoughts on magic, theater and creativity, but he also does a killer coin trick for us.

Francis is one of the most creative magicians i have ever met. his work with the 3 way forcing deck is unreal. he fried a room of 50 magicians with his spelling/prediction effect using that deck. He links everything within his routines so well.
